Not sure where to get them, but here's how to serve them...(plagarized from a Google link)

How to Serve Bratwurst
Brats are served on a bun, dressed with condiments, and accompanied by classic side dishes. There are rules to be followed, and if you break them in the presence of a Wisconsin bratwurst connoisseur, you will be considered a culinary pissant (sorry to get stuffy here and use words derived from French, but that's the way it is).
Rule #1: Do not serve bratwurst on a hot dog bun! Brats are eaten on a brat bun, or in Sheboygan, on a Sheboygan hard roll, which is based on a Bavarian semmel roll. Brat buns resemble hot dog buns, but are larger and more substantial and chewy, and are designed to hold a single brat. Sheboygan hard rolls are moderate-sized round buns, suited to the Sheboygan-style double-brat sandwich. In Sheboygan, most folks put two brats on a round roll. In the rest of Wisconsin, they put one brat on a brat bun. Both types have a golden brown surface and are substantial enough to hold onto the brats, condiments, and for most folks in Sheboygan - lots of butter (This is not low-calorie cuisine). For those of you who live outside Wisconsin, it can be nearly impossible to find a proper brat bun or Sheboygan hard roll, so you'll have to take matters into your own hands. Here's a recipe.

Rule #2: Do not put yellow mustard on a brat! It is an abomination. The classic mustard for brats is a brown Wisconsin German-style Düsseldorf, medium to dark in color and pungency, slightly sweet-sour and sometimes flavored with herbs. Dijon is also nice.

Beyond those two rules, which are widely accepted in Wisconsin, there are differences of opinion, especially between Sheboygan (self-proclaimed Bratwurst Capital of the World), and the rest of the state.

Typical condiments outstate include any combination of chopped onion, sauerkraut, ketchup, and mustard.

In Sheboygan, brats are typically dressed with "da works" - ketchup, mustard, chopped onion and pickle. Saurkraut as a topping is frowned upon.

It should be noted that some folks consider ketchup on a brat to be an abomination; similar to how connoisseurs of hot dogs feel.

I sometimes eat my brats dressed simply with my Savory Beer Sauce and mustard.

Typical sides include German potato salad or American potato salad, pickle, and baked beans. See recipes.
